Anyway I happened to notice that my bilge pump kept coming on and staying on and then shutting off and repeating. So I headed back to my marina and had them yank my boat out of the water asap and low and behold my worst fears. boat is a 2002 MA 21 and on that boat I guess it has a center section that looks like a ridepad that runs 3/4's the length of the boat. Well both sides of this ride pad are cracked and one side has movement if you push on it while the other doesn't. The cracks run almost the whole length of this ride pad. surprisingly its no where near the sea chest. has anyone had this happen and if so any info on how much work is involved to fit it? I'll be having a professional do it as I don't mess with fiberglass. thanks for the help. Any updates dc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These guys are legit and Shaeffer has been doing new and refurbs for decades. I would strongly recommend at least talking to them. They may be one of the most expensive, but I assure you it would be done right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mminassian Posted May 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 Well I ended up making a claim against my insurance and they ended up covering the claim so I'm still in the process of getting estimates and actually selecting a company to do the repairs. It's been somewhat over whelming between how everyone wants to do it a different way. I was going to take it to ingman marine since maverick recommended them but now ted over there isn't calling me back so I may scratch them off the list. really stinks I just want to be out on the boat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I talked to one guy today and he is working on giving me a price for a full refurb with removing the deck etc. I am trailering the boat to another guy tomorrow who is going to take a look at it and give me his opinion. And tomorrow I will be calling MBG to see if they are still doing refurbs and what my options would be. If anyone has a good shop, I'd be willing to trailer it to somewhere in Tampa. I live in Largo currently but not afraid to drive. I want someone who is going to do it right the first time and charges a fair market price. Already decided that if I do cut out the deck, I'm going to be doing some replumbing, replacing the gas tank etc. Boat was just rewired in 2012 if I remember from when flipping through the receipts from old owner. Any other suggestions? Really was planning on doing trolling motor and gps instead of this LOL Durite Boat Works in Stuart. I know it's a haul from where you are but, if you want it done right based on the pics and all the reviews that people in that area have said...There is a thread on hear and they are currently in the process of refurbing billythekids Berg/Maverick Hull. Just search Billythekid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mminassian Posted September 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 Got it back about a month ago had Stewart at Reliance Marine here in st pete do the work. He did an awesome job, there was way more damage to the bulkheads and stringers than we originally thought so it ended up costing double what I thought and took twice as long but had the boat out this past weekend and it ran like a champ. Gonna really put it through its paces on Sunday going fishing with a buddy! Good to be back on the water now I just gotta find the fish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
